Légende

The Transvaal War: Majuba Hill, [South Africa], 1881. 'The welcome news of the cessation of this wretched and mistaken conflict [ie the First Boer War] has already been made known. It involves the frank concession of self-government to the Boers...A View of Majuba Hill, the scene of the last disastrous conflict on Feb. 27, when Sir George Colley was killed, appears on our front page...We trust that Englishmen and Dutchmen, who ought to be friends, will never again be compelled to meet each other with hostile intent'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
